Dulwich Old College War Memorial
Description
The memorial is in the form of a tall tapering shaft of Hopton Wood stone, topped by a diamond entablature which bears carved images of Christ the King to the north and south sides.
The shaft stands on a square pedestal, with its north face decorated with the shield of Dulwich College with the college motto DETUR GLORIA/ SOLI DEO ("Let glory be given to God alone") inscribed above, and the south face has a panel with a design of a double trefoil-headed window.
The pedestal stands on a four tiered octagonal plinth. The top tier is decorated with floral motifs and encircled by an inscription in raised letters:
IN HONOUR OF THE MEN/ OF THIS FOUNDATION WHO/ SERVED IN THE GREAT/ WAR 1914–1919 AND IN/ SOLEMN REMEMBRANCE/ OF THOSE WHO DIED FOR/ LIBERTY AND JUSTICE TO/ THE GLORY OF GOD.
Oak panels on the south wall of Christ's Chapel in the Old College building record the names of the dead.
